When Guo Yan woke up, it was already 7 o'clock in the morning on the third day. He looked around and found that he was ill in the hospital.
Turning his head, Lu Tingnan was sitting on the edge of the bed, sleepy eyes and shaking his head sleepily.
"Bun." Guo Yan shouted, weak and weak.
"Ah!" Lu Tingnan was shocked. He woke up from the stool. When he saw Guo Yan waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Wok, you, you finally woke up."
Guo Yan asked weakly, "What happened? Why am I here?"
Lu Tingnan rubbed his sour eyes, "You have been in a coma for two days, and something very bad happened that night..."
Guo Yan's expression was puzzled, and his thoughts flew. "That night... I only remember that I seemed to be entangled in something and couldn't move. Later, I didn't remember anything. Did something happen?"
Lu Tingnan pursed his mouth and said everything that night.
"What are you talking about, my brother is seriously injured!"
When Guo Yan heard that Yang Pei was seriously injured, his pale cheeks were full of eager expressions, and he even wanted to get up to see Yang Pei.
Lu Tingnan hurriedly said, "However, your brother is fine. He woke up yesterday morning. The doctor said that after a while, he would be fine."
"..." Guo Yan calmed down, "Can you talk together next time? I can't stand such a big gasp!"
Lu Tingnan smiled awkwardly.
Guo Yan took a sip of water to calm down, and asked, "So, the thing that attacked me that night was not a ghost?"
"Um."
"what is that?"
Lu Tingnan took out a thick book of classics from his backpack, turned it over to the place where the bookmark was placed, and handed it to Guo Yan, who was in charge of it.
Guo Yan glanced at the content of the book, frowned and said, "Tapir?"
"Yeah." Lu Tingnan said, "It's Tapir Hui who attacked you. These are monsters in myths and legends. They look like humans, can be invisible, and like to eat human brains. Wang Qifei, who died before, Liu Jin , I was eaten up by it."
Guo Yan doubted: "But, how do you know that Tapir Hui did it?"
Lu Tingnan took out his mobile phone, flipped through the photos in the album, and handed them to Guo Yan, "This is the photo I took with the camera I put aside when the tapir appeared the night before."
Guo Yan stared at the photo. In the photo is a street. There are two people. One of them is Guo Yan himself. As for the other, he is wearing an ordinary black jacket. A face is distorted to the point of being scary, and his mouth is stretched out. The many flesh-colored tentacles that came out wrapped Guo Yan's entire head.
Staring at the photo, Guo Yan had lingering fears.
Lu Tingnan said: "Except for this photo, the other dead are in the condition of Tapir Hui, so it is certain that Tapir Hui is the one who attacked you."
Guo Yan turned off his mobile phone and didn't look at it again. This photo was really uncomfortable, and the victim was himself.
"This... thing, is it dead?"
Lu Tingnan shook his head, "No, it ran away. The situation was too messy at the time. Brother Pei and you were both injured. In addition, it will become invisible. No one knows where it went. But what is certain is that, It should have left Tongzhou."
"How sure?"
Lu Tingnan said: "It had been disguised as a human before, so Brother Pei used the photos I took to check and found that it had been a prison guard in the detention center before, and there was a photo of its ID when it was a prison guard behind that photo. ."
Guo Yan turned on the phone again, flipped the photo back, and saw an ID photo. The face in this photo was a bit familiar.
"This person... I seem to have seen it."
"Have you seen?"
Guo Yan thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that when he was released from prison, the guard who took him out of prison was the person in the photo. He stared and said in surprise, "No wonder he asked me those questions when I left. Confirming if I live alone!"
Lu Tingnan was very curious, and Guo Yan explained it to him, and then he understood.
When the guard at the time asked him, he thought the other party was concerned about him, but he didn't expect the other party to ask him for a purpose.
Guo Yan twitched, "It’s no wonder that the dead are people who have just been released from prison. It turns out that this is the case. This monster has been working in the detention center. He should know the people in the detention center. That’s why he chose the goal of living alone. Start. However, since there is a record of a monster like Tapir Hui in your book, why didn't you think of it before?"
Lu Tingnan scratched his head, "I didn't know at the time. You told me that there were brain-eating ghosts in the detention center. Then I thought the one outside should be a ghost, so I never thought of it. Later you were attacked. When I discovered the problem, I thought that it might be tapir dirty."
Guo Yan couldn't laugh or cry, but he also knew that Baozi could not be blamed for this incident. In this situation, everyone would be confused. Especially under the condition of such a serious lack of clues, it is difficult to clearly judge whether the attacker is a ghost or not.
What's more, the spiritual events that the two encountered before did not have this kind of thing, and they naturally judged according to their previous habits, ignoring the most original way of thinking.
However, Guo Yan was fortunate that Lu Tingnan was able to think of it in time, otherwise, he might already be lying in the morgue, right
Lu Tingnan took back his mobile phone and said, "Brother Pei told me that a wanted warrant has been issued, and this tapir should not appear in the next time. So, is this matter considered over?"
Guo Yan looked at Lu Tingnan, glanced at the window of the ward, shook his head and said, "It's not over yet. Although the monster has run away, the situation in the detention center is not optimistic."
Lu Tingnan was startled, "Are you talking about ghosts in the detention center?"
Guo Yan nodded, "Well, the ghosts in the detention center kill four people every year. This pattern has been going on for many years. If this goes on... you know better than me, you should understand."
Lu Tingnan thought for a while and said, "It should be... very serious. If people are always dead, if their souls don't leave, there will be more and more ghosts."
Guo Yan said solemnly, "Yes, I don't want to see this happen. Tongzhou is already restless enough."
…
In the afternoon, Guo Yan checked his body and was approved to be discharged from the hospital.
When he was discharged from the hospital, Guo Yan saw Dr. Gu, who helped him last time. He wanted to say hello, but Dr. Gu looked lonely, didn't see him at all, and left on his own.
Leaving the hospital and returning to the office, Guo Yan said, "Let's go to the detention center tonight."
"Uh, are you in such a hurry?"
"Do you have other things?"
"No… "
"Then go! Solve early and good morning."
Tapir filthy (mowei's wei is not the "filthy" word, just because the word wei is a rare word, it can't be displayed, so I changed a word, please forgive me): a monster in myths and legends, wearing ragged clothes, fingers as long as profit Clawed humanoid monsters like to attack single travelers, suck human brains, and can be killed with hot big rocks. Here Lao Lu has slightly changed to fit the plot of the novel.
